Our Mayor is sincerely trying to determine why no one wants to do business in Minneapolis (without massive subsidies.) Here is the text of R. T.'s letter soliciting input. EVERY PRIVATE SECTOR PERSON should fill out and submit the survey. It only takes a few minutes.
Dear Business Association Leaders, Here at City Hall, I am working with the City Council to create a clear set of economic and community development priorities for the City. One of the goals of this study is to make it easier for businesses to start up, grow, and succeed here in Minneapolis. In order to do this, we need to know what the City does well and what we do poorly -- that is why I am asking for your help today. To collect input from business owners, McKinsey and Company, a management consulting firm, has created an Internet survey about economic and community development. This survey, accessible through the city webpage at http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us, provides you and your members with a chance to express your experiences in starting and operating a business in Minneapolis. The results will shape our efforts to improve the business climate in Minneapolis. In order to get as much input as possible, I am asking for you to help by encouraging your members to participate in this effort. Please forward this message to anyone in your association who may be interested in participating. To ensure confidentiality of the individual responses, the survey results are being collected by McKinsey and Company. If you have any questions about the Internet survey, please feel free to call Matthew Montminy at 612-371-3158 or contact him by email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you very much for your help. I look forward to hearing your opinions. Sincerely, Mayor R. T.
